Availability is assessed before any filter related to changes in pH measurement method. Only the following filters are applied:
S (surface) or
F (bottom).All observations assigned to S are pooled irrespective
of numerical depth; the same rule is applied to observations assigned to
F.

The SOMLIT stations are presented from north to south. The change from the potentiometric method on the NBS scale (pHNBS) to the spectrophotometric method on the total scale (pHT) is indicated by a vertical line.
The figures above are descriptive. The method dates are used only to distinguish pHNBS from pHT; no observation has been removed.

The climatology uses every individual observation, without prior averaging by year-month.
Each anomaly is calculated for an individual observation; no monthly averaging is performed.
Trends are estimated from individual anomalies using GLS models with an AR(1) correlation structure applied to observations in chronological order. This retains all observations, including measurements sharing the same date.

The monthly climatology is calculated using only spectrophotometric pH data. For each monitoring site and sampling level, all individual observations from the same calendar month are included directly in the calculation; observations are not averaged by year-month beforehand.
Anomalies are calculated for every individual spectrophotometric observation as the measured pH minus the climatological pH of the corresponding calendar month, monitoring site, and sampling level. No monthly averaging is performed.
Linear trends are estimated from all individual spectrophotometric pH anomalies using generalised least squares (GLS). A first-order autoregressive AR(1) correlation structure is applied to observations in chronological order, retaining measurements that share the same date. Models are fitted separately for each monitoring site and sampling level. Slopes are expressed in pH units per decade.

Because pHNBS and pHT cover different periods and are reported on different scales, their time series are not combined. This table presents the two method-specific trends side by side. Each slope is estimated independently from method-specific monthly anomalies using GLS with an AR(1) correlation structure in chronological observation order. Slopes and standard errors are expressed in pH units per decade.
